How to Prime Pool Filter: Tips for Keeping Your Pool Clean

As a pool owner, you know how important it is to keep your pool clean and free of debris. One of the most essential elements of a clean pool is your pool filter. However, if your pool filter is not primed correctly, it may not work effectively and can even damage your pump. In this article, we'll go over the steps you need to take to prime your pool filter correctly.

Why Priming is Necessary for Your Pool Filter

Priming is a critical step in ensuring that your pool filter works effectively. When you turn on your pool pump, it will start to circulate water through your pool filter. The pump creates a flow of water, creating a pressure difference between the inlet and outlet ports in the pool filter. This pressure difference purifies the water and prevents debris from entering the pool. However, when you first install a new filter or turn the pool system back on after an extended period, it is crucial to prime the filter to ensure sufficient water flow through the system.

1. Gather the Necessary Equipment

Before we get started, let's go over the necessary equipment you'll need for priming your pool filter:

- Pool Pump

- Pool Filter

- Pool Skimmer

- Water Hose

- Pool Cleaning Tools

With these items gathered together, you'll be ready to prime your pool filter in no time.

2. Turn off the Pool System

The first step in priming your pool filter is to turn off the pool system. This includes turning off the pump, the heater, and any other pool equipment.

3. Clean the Pool Skimmer

Once your pool system is off, remove any debris or trash that may have collected in the pool skimmer. The skimmer will need to be free of any items that may block the water flow when you're priming your pool filter.

4. Fill the Pool Filter with Water

Next, you'll need to fill the pool filter with water. You can fill the filter with a water hose or from the pool itself. The goal is to fill the filter with as much water as possible to help prime the system.

5. Turn on the Pool Pump

Finally, it's time to turn on the pool pump. Turn the pool pump back on and watch as the water begins to flow through the pool filter. Be sure to keep an eye on the filter's pressure gauge, and if the pressure is rising, then the system is becoming clogged. Be sure to turn off the pump to clean it properly.

Conclusion

With these simple steps, you can prime your pool filter without any fuss. By starting with the right equipment, cleaning the pool skimmer, filling the filter with water, and turning on the pool pump, you can ensure that your pool stays clean and free of debris. So what are you waiting for? Get your pool filter primed and enjoy hours of fun and enjoyment in a crystal clear pool!

----It is best to replace the silica sand of sand filters every 1-2 years for the following reasons:
a During backwashing, the filtration bed volume will expand upwards by 1.2 to 1.3 times. The water flow will drive the filtration layer to flow up and down, causing the filtration material particles to collide with each other. Backwash will let the small sand evacuate.
b.Some silica sands will be welded when the acid and alkali are changed due to insufficient purity;
Therefore, the longer the time, the worse the filtering effect of the sand tank. Since backwashing will consume and take away some sand, we need to replace the sand in the sand tank within the specified period.
